Broiled Sesame Halibut Kabobs Recipes

SESAME GINGER BROILED HALIBUT RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large glass bowl, combine soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, and half of the chopped scallion.​
• Place the fillets in a large resealable zipper baggie, then pour the marinade liquid into the baggie, squeeze out any excess air and seal. This marinating technique allows a relatively small amount of liquid to cover the entire surface area of the halibut fillets.​
• Marinate fillets in the refrigerator for 2 to 4 hours.​
• Preheat broiler for 5 minutes.​
• Remove fillets from baggie and place them skin side down on a sheet pan lined with a silicone baking mat. Sprinkle generously with sesame seeds, patting them firmly against the fillets. The fillets should be fully coated with sesame seeds.​
• Place pan in on top rack of your oven (or under the broiler if you have a separate broiler) and broil 7 to 8 minutes or until the fillets flake but still give slightly when pressed with your thumb; don't over cook them, though, or they'll be too dry.​
• While the fillets cook, pour the leftover marinade liquid into a saucepan and bring to a boil, then lower to a simmer and reduce while the fillets cook. Note: For safety reasons, it is important to bring the marinade to a full boil before serving it with the dish.​
• Serve halibut topped with the reduced marinade and garnished with the remaining green onion.

BROILED HALIBUT WITH LEMON AND HERBS

Steps:

• In a small mixing bowl, combine 1/4 cup butter, shallots, dill weed, parsley, mustard, lemon juice, garlic and salt; mix well.
• Rinse halibut steaks in cold water and pat dry on paper towels.
• In a 8 inch x 8 inch oven proof casserole dish, add 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Place under the broiler on HIGH heat for about 2 minutes or until the butter has melted.
• Place the halibut steaks in the casserole dish.
• Spread one half the lemon/herb mixture equally over each steak.
• Place under the broiler on HIGH heat and broil for 6 minutes.
• Turn halibut steaks over and spread the remaining lemon/herb mixture evenly over the steaks.
• Continue to broil on HIGH heat for another 5 to 6 minutes or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Do not overcook the fish.
• Serve with cooked basmati brown rice.
• You may also use finely chopped chives or green onions instead of the shallots.

GRILLED HALIBUT SKEWERS

Steps:

• Mix first half of ingredients together in a non-reactive dish or large Zip Lock bag. Soak skewers in water until needed. Slice fish and peppers in to 1" or 1½" cubes/squares.
• Marinate fish for 1 to 2 hours at room temperature before cooking. Drain and save marinade for basting.
• Skewer fish and vegetables together and grill about 10 to 15 (depends or the size of your fish) minutes over Medium heat. Basting with reserved marinade.
• Note:.
• Getting nice cubes of fish will be easier if you start with a roast or a fillet vs. a steak.
• Lemon juice will actually cook the fish while marinating. Do not over marinate.
• Adding a little (very little) Apple or Hickory wood chips will add to the flavor.
• I found that the marinate time was better at about 3 to 4 hours if you have large pieces of fish. Say 1½" to 2" chunks. You may not want to leave it out that long, try the first hour or two in the refrigerator and the last few at room temperature Just for safety.
